Dice’s Gordan Van Dyk has announced the system requirements for the upcoming multiplayer-centric shooters Battlefield Bad Company 2 and Battlefield 1943.
The console version of Battlefield 1943 has already been released, but PC gamers will have to wait until January next year.
Bad Company 2 is expected to be released in March 2010, and since the abandonment of dedicated servers by Infinity Ward, many competitive gamers are anticipating it as the next big thing.
